Therefore, a review on the top of the best antiviruses of 2014, I decided to write in a few other format, so that such questions do not arise. This time I will not separate the material into two separate articles for paid and free antiviruses, but I will try to fit all this in one material, dividing it to the relevant sections.
Update: Best Free Antivirus 2020
Quick transition to the desired section:
- Which antivirus to choose and why not pay attention to "My friend programmer said that Kaspersky brakes the system" or "I use it for 5 years with such an antivirus, everything is in order and advise you."
- Best Paid Anti-Virus 2014
- Best Free Anti-Virus 2014
What antivirus choose
On the site of almost any manufacturer of antivirus programs you will find information that their product is the best version of such a publication or the best according to a certain characteristic. It goes without saying if I do something and sell it, I will find what I am the best and will definitely inform about it.There are tests, and there is a subjective, not always competent opinion
However, we were lucky and there Independent laboratories , Only those who are engaged in the testing of antiviruses from year to year from month to month. At the same time, their distortion is unlikely (still reputation - it is important), and if it is present, then it allows the presence of a sufficient number of such laboratories.
At the same time, it is important that regularly conducted tests in a wide variety of conditions are more objective than the opinion of the "specialist" that a certain antivirus is bad, obtained by him five years ago on the crickered version of the hacked version and since then, the acquaintances promoted to all .
Sites of the most famous organizations producing antivirus testing:
- AV comparatives http://www.av-comparationives.org/
- AV-Test http://www.av-test.org/
- Virus Bulletin http://www.virusbtn.com/
- Dennis Technology Labs http://www.dennistechnologylabs.com/
In fact, they are more, and they are easily searched on the Internet, but in general, in most items the results coincide. In addition, some antivirus companies launch their own sites allegedly "independent tests" with known goals. Specified four sites for their many years of existence have not yet reproached in affiliation with anti-virus software manufacturers. Below are examples of the results of such tests.
Well, about such questions and comments:
- What else is BitDefender - I do not know that, and none of my friendly computer users knows.
- What for F-Secure? Say better, where you download free nod 32.
- I do not know any G Data Internet Security, I use Dr. Web and everything is fine.
What can I say here? Use what you think right. And you do not know about these antiviruses, most likely because today, the Russian market is not very interesting to these companies, while those producers whose antiviruses have more hearing for you, spend significant money on marketing in our country.
Best Paid Anti-Virus 2014
Unconditional leaders, as in the past year, are Kaspersky Anti-virus products and BitDefender.BitDefender Internet Security 2014
